Mmmm - you know that sense of humour failure I had two Sundays ago? Well double it for last Sunday

I'm only fed up 'cos I've still got a dodgy knee so couldn't join the family up at Nakiska at the weekend :sneaky:

Mind you - everyone I speak to (ie, the 'locals') - they're all fed up now too. Enough already :D

We really are getting fed up with it now - who would believe this was March 29th :eek: At least we have made good use of our new snowblower :)

<snigger> I'll be laying irrigation pipe out this weekend, in 17 degrees of sunshine, apparently.

Might have a round of golf too ;)

It snowed in may last year in Winnipeg!

What about those poor folks in north dakota - up to their ears in water and expecting 35 cm of snow today!

Had a sniff last week, so am putting together accounts and some other information ready for a 2nd meeting with the interested party. Keep your extremities crossed.

Come on you lot, cheer up :p

I know I've posted before with comments like "winter is too long" and "April is disappointing" but this year I'm making an effort to turn this around and make this time of year a bit more interesting...

So... on Sunday I set up the firepit and had a very memorable barbecue/"burn everything flammable in sight to keep warm" experience (which was, er, very memorable :thumbup:)

Today, without complaint or incident, I shoveled a path through the snow to the car and drove/slid to work in around the same time the radio announcer listed out all the closures and cancellations.

Tomorrow, well, England are playing a World Cup qualifier and both Gerrard and Rooney are fit to play. With everyone watching those two, no doubt a Beckham cross to Crouch's head will win that one.

And I've organised a paintball tournament for the end of the month, so all is good :D

We did the same and had the neighbours (who aren't really neighbours - they live far over the back of us) come down and complain that our bonfire has caused them to turn their air exchanger off! :blink: How do you answer that?!!
